Story

My friend Rob and I are doing an IronMan (distance race) on 25 June. 

40% of deaths of children under five are from vaccine-preventable diseases. New Incentives offer cash incentives for routine childhood vaccines in North West Nigeria. It’s an amazing project. From GiveWell's website

In Nigeria, 43% of infants did not receive all recommended childhood vaccines in 2019. New Incentives provide cash transfers to incentivize caregivers to bring babies to clinics for routine childhood vaccinations, which prevent disease and reduce child mortality. It costs about $160 to vaccinate an infant. In 2020, [GiveWell] directed funding to New Incentives to support this program at an estimated average cost-effectiveness of $5,000 per life saved.

According to GiveWell, New Incentives is one of the most highly effective charities when measuring the lives saved per dollar donated.

Therefore any donation, no matter how small, will make a real impact on people's lives. Plus, it will keep me smiling.
